Did you all catch the American Music Awards yesterday? So many different fashions, awards received and lovely spectacular performances. From Miley with her lip sinking Kitty, Katy channeling her inner geisha, and One Direction making my heart melt, it was overall a grand night. But enough with the voices, lets dig in to the fashions shall we?

1. Miley Cyrus

Sporting a Verus Versace white suit, she keeps it simple and bare underneath. Along with her suit she struts in simple black heels. At least there's no more latex, right?

2. Taylor Swift

I was surprised to see Taylor Swift in something other than her romance, frothy, Romeo & Juliet type dresses but a metallic gold mini. Taylor's dress played as a simile to all the awards she won - coming out as country's golden girl.

"You're either in or out," I can recall Heidi saying on Project Runway. I'm sorry, Heidi, but you're out. Either you literally loved that dress, or a paper shredder caught you on the way out the door.

5. One Direction

Winning every award they were up for, One Direction came in looking like a fierce grey and black color coordinated boy band. I love it. Whilst we're on the topic, have you got your copy of Midnight Memories that came out today? No? Go. Now.

There were plenty more fashions to spectacle over, but for now I'm simply waiting for the next award show. Hope your week is starting out lovely.

With the chill in the air, cheery music playing, and sparkly new
products making their debut - it must mean that the holidays are just
around the corner. As soon as I saw that one radio station completely
dedicated to Christmas songs, my wish list for Christmas day began
springing into my head. So, with that I decided to create my monthly
favorites - from what I have and what I'm currently ooooing and awing
over.

1. Kate
Spade 'Eat Cake For Breakfast' Journal: If you haven't seen
my new
Eat Cake For Breakfast bag, then you wouldn't know my current
obsession with this phrase. I was delighted to receive this fun journal,
with simple gold letters telling me to eat cake for breakfast. The
inside front cover is filled with gold polka dots and then hundreds of
lined sheets of paper waiting for me to unload my mind of it's thoughts.

4. Butter
London The 444 Nail Lacquer: I'm definitely the kind of
girl who goes gaga over nails. Your nail polish is basically just
another accessory to boost up your outfit. The color of this polish is
gorgeous, it looks like the bubbly champagne glasses clinking together
on New Years. That and a bit of sparkle, which is an added plus for
anything.

5. 'Dress
To Impress' Kate Spade Shirt: Is there anything that I need
to say about this shirt other than OMG? I love these kinds of shirts
that are so simple, but make your heart flutter at the first site of it.
For any fashionista, this is basically our motto. Number one on my wish
list for sure!

6. Harrison
Striped Phone Case from Kate Spade: I have an odd obsession
of changing up my phone case a lot more often than I should. Seeing all
the cute phone cases from Kate Spade like this one certainly doesn't
help my obsession. It's just another reason to take out your phone - to
admire your glitzy case!

7. The Shopping Bag's 'Ann Crystal Bib Necklace': Not only did the name
of the necklace make me adore it, but the crystals and simplicity of
the necklace snatched up my heart. This is the perfect necklace for your
holiday parties, and the one necklace everyone will be talking about.
Your whole outfit should revolve around this lovely piece. Plus, an added bonus is the necklace is only $30!

8. Brian
Lichtenberg Feline Beanie: I've seen these beanies all over
Tumblr and on popular celebrities, which makes my longing to get one in
my hands even stronger. So quirky and cute, I love it.

9. Prada
Candy Perfume: This perfume is just like it's title, sweet
like candy. I like to compare the scent to a hard candy, sweet on the
outside, but once you break it open it evolves into a delicate and
elegant smelling perfume. Lovely!

Many of times I find myself wondering, "When did that become a trend?" However, that was before I got a new app on my phone's home screen. Trendstop is what any modern fashionista should have handy. By the time you get it you'll no longer be lost in the ever changing world of fashion, but more so the know it all...the trend setter. Each article on the app can be recent news in fashion or the upcoming and present trends that should be making an arrival in your closet. Not only does it give you those handy updates, but lets you view runway shows. I'm not going to lie, I spent a bit of time going through show after show after show... Not up to watching a video? No worries, the gallery lets you view the highlights of the show in a few simple pictures. Find some trendy stores near you with the 'Stores' part of the app. Lastly, save your favorite trends or articles to show you fashion crazed friends what you love. Any fashionista will get lost in this app and make outfits that everyone will be buzzing about.

Can you imagine a world where it would be socially acceptable to simply just eat cake for breakfast? Once I got my new Kate Spade bag telling me to do so, I thought why not? You only live once right?

That means to make everyday your fashion show, and I enjoy the thought of that. So today I focused on a fall prep fashion show revolving around my new black Franco Sarto heel shoes. These shoes make me feel a bit European if that makes any sense. They just remind me of something you'd see someone wearing in the streets of London or Paris. For a bit of color for this outfit I put on my eggplant knee socks. I love knee socks, and especially since it's the perfect time in fall to wear them.

J. Crew dominated this outfit with my simple black skirt and warm navy sweater. A sweater like this is a closet staple. It can be jazzed up or played down, and always looks classic and cute. I ventured on the route to jazz up my sweater by putting a jean Abercrombie & Fitch button down underneath, having bits of it peaking out. Jean tops seem to be really in this year, which I was wary of at first, but Abercrombie does a good job at making me adore things.

My jewelry I kept minimal and silver, sporting a Michael Kors buckle ring which is absolutely fabulous in my eyes. It's so simple but chic. My earrings came from Anne Klein, yet another simple piece of jewelry. Silver hoops are a jewelry staple, you could basically put them on with most of everything.

Kate Spade says live colorfully, and I love how this Eat Cake For Breakfast bag has that bold stripe of red at the bottom causing eye catching glances at the beautiful tote. The inside is lined so pretty with a light gold color and white stripes. I was surprised at how deep the bag really is, fitting any necessities that you have to carry. I also adore how the sides of the bag have a pinched look, and how bold the wording. All throughout the day people would read it and laugh, 'cause who eats cake for breakfast? ...psh, definitely not me...
